Why Schools and Universities Choose Kitcast

Education is Kitcast's primary market — not an afterthought. Built for the way educational institutions actually work.

You probably already have the hardware

Android, Smart TV, Fire TV — Kitcast runs on all of them. And if you have Apple TVs already deployed in classrooms and common areas for AirPlay, even better: Kitcast runs natively on tvOS and turns them into managed digital signage without new hardware procurement.

Non-technical staff can use it independently

Marketing, HR, the cafeteria manager, the performing arts coordinator — anyone you give access to can log in and update their screens without training. No IT ticket required.

IT gets the governance they need

SSO (SAML), SCIM, MDM integration (Jamf, Mosyle, Kandji), role-based access, and audit log — all included at $10/screen/month. No Enterprise contract required.

Everything Your Institution Needs to Manage Screens at Scale

Emergency Alerts & Override

Push urgent messages to every screen instantly — lockdown alerts, weather warnings, schedule changes. Works on all devices. CAP protocol supported.

Multi-Location Management

Manage screens across multiple buildings, campuses, or schools from one dashboard. Each location manages their own content independently.

MDM Integration (Jamf, Mosyle, Kandji)

Zero-touch Apple TV provisioning, single-app mode, remote fleet management. Deploy Kitcast to hundreds of devices without touching each one.

Content Scheduling & Automation

Schedule morning announcements, lunch menus, and after-school schedules. Content updates automatically — no one needs to log in.

AI Content Generation

Case Study

Coker College: Apple TVs Already on Campus, Kitcast Made It Work

Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina (1,300 students) deployed Apple TVs across campus as part of their Access Coker digital technology initiative. When they needed digital signage, Kitcast was the natural fit — the hardware was already there.

"Kitcast is a good one because even though some people on my team don't use Kitcast constantly or might not have even used it before — if I give them the login, they can go in and figure it out. It simplifies things."

— Danielle Sewell, M.F.A., Director of Marketing & Communications, Coker College

Before Kitcast: Static posters and flyers that ended up in people's blind spots.
After Kitcast: Dynamic screens people actively notice — and measurable savings on print costs. "We also save a lot on the ink and the paper."
